The Dark Knight Rises

ABBEY: This is the last part of Batman trilogy of Nolan-Bale. Commissioner Gordon have the criminals behind bars as part of the Dent act. Harvey Dent became the hero of Gotham which was killed suspected by Batman. An exiled member of League of Shadows, Bane, wants Gotham to have a revolution because of corrupt bureaucracy. A supposed-to-be machine to create free and sustainable energy was turned into a nuclear bomb. Chaos is everywhere and that was a good time for Catwoman to have her way. No Batman or anybody who will stand up against Bane, people lived in fear. Just in time before the city falls into destruction the Dark Knight came and redeemed himself. 

The ending is epic. A must-see movie.


WILL: To complete the trilogy, I begged Abbey to consider watching this 3rd sequel in a silver screen. Well, my gut never been wrong. 
      The movie gives an epic finale... a good one. This is the only movie that urges and I am willing to pay again just to watch it again in a big screen. Ha! So nice movie eh. 10/10.

ArtScience Museum

ABBEY: This is included in the 24sgd all-access pass. The exhibit is in the top floor of the museum. On the right after you alight the elevator is the interactive gallery of objects that served as inspiration on modern inventions that we have today; like Da Vinci's sketches for a vehicle that allows human to fly which gives the Wright brothers the idea for an airplane. A wall of touch-screen monitors allows you to create a postcard and send them to you friends. On the left side is the audio-visual presentation of the objects.




WILL: ArtScience Museum is one of the greatest landmark now of Singapore as it was built conjointly with the famous Marina Bay Sands 3 towers. Almost every month, different artist, artifacts were showcased here, every turn, every time, this museum never fails to amuse us.
      Finally, we entered this lotus-liked museum. Goose-bumps? Yes, it is present. And now we are here to see all Harry Potter and Andy Warhol displays. Unknowingly, we are also allowed to set our eyes to their presentation. The ideas, the creativity and the amusing facts and knowledge by different people.
      This is a truly amazing experience. A must-go place for all the visitors of Singapore.

Metrobox Express Balikbayan Box

ABBEY: This is our first time to send "balikbayan" box. As  seen from our housemates, we opted to try the service of Metrobox. They have their office at 3rd floor of Lucky Plaza. Provincial rate for their "up-sized" box (24x24x42) is 120sgd. They charged 55sgd for my odd-size box. The pickup time somehow got late but they assured that it will included on their cutoff date. 

The box was delivered after 11 days. That was fast. I was told it would take 2-3 weeks. Thanks Metrobox




WILL: First time! Before, I want to send a balikbayan box to Philippines as my friend Chat suggested but when I will think of the price how much per box costs, well I rather send money. 
GSS came and Abbey bought electric drums, its almost 40% off the price if we buy those in Manila so we decided to buy here in Yamaha Singapore and boxed it up to Bulacan. He bought the Upsized Metrobox and there is a lot of space to fill in, then that I know that was the time to send goods to our loved ones. 
      Since those were the months of Great Singapore Sale, the bargains were all around and supermarkets were not an exception to that. Weekly, I am spotting items for our families to try on. Since detergents is lot cheaper in here, we send them detergents and fabric conditioner. Bags, wallets, skin care were not forgotten to buy. Ha! This is so exciting and yet more brain draining activity rather than sending out the money. Haha!
      The box were full then Abbey handled me the packing list, I just wrote down electric drums and personal effects. When my husband read what I inked on, "Really? Yun lng? Personal Effects?", then I nod and explained. He saw of some packing list deliberately write each pieces inside, but the "personal effects" will suffice it all, believe me, unless you cannot win the argument to the customs or courier servicemen then write all the things you packed inside. 
      The Metrobox took only two weeks to deliver the package, all were in good form. This is a experience, seriously. Haha! Metrobox is located at Lucky Plaza. ;)
